The New York Knicks ended the season at the 15th spot, last team of the Eastern Conference and won't compete the playoffs.

The Brooklyn Nets will be present thanks to their last results. They ended the season at the 7th spot and are qualified for the playoffs. They'll meet the Atlanta Hawks (1st of the Conference).

First of all, let me give you a quick introduction on how the playoffs work for those who are not familiar with the tournament. It would be a shame to not understand it and miss a game!!

2 years ago, I watched a playoff game at Barclays Center and this was a great experience!!!

What are the NBA playoffs?

NBA playoffs consist of 2 phases: the regular season where teams meet few times in a championship divided in 2 conferences: the Western and Eastern conference (where the NY Knicks and BK Nets belong).

At the outcome of the season, the 8th first teams of each conference meet during the playoff phase organized in brackets based on the seeding: 1-8, 2-7, 3-6 and 4-5.

What games are scheduled for the 2015 playoffs?

As you can see on this playoff page the conference is organized as followed: the quarterfinals, the semifinals, the conferences finals and the NBA finals where the Western winning team plays against the Eastern winning team.

At the beginning, this is how the Eastern conference quarterfinals breaks down:

- 1st against 8th of the same conference: Atlanta Hawks vs.Brooklyn Nets

- 2nd against 7th of the same conference: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Boston Celtics

- 3rd against 6th of the same conference: Chicago Bulls vs. Milwaukee Bucks

- 4th against 5th of the same conference: Toronto Raptors vs. Washington Wizards

At the beginning, this is how of the Western conference quarterfinals breaks down:

- 1st against 8th of the same conference: Golden State Warriors vs. New Orleans Ornets

- 2nd against 7th of the same conference: Houston Rockets vs.Dallas Maverics

- 3rd against 6th of the same conference: L.A. Clippers vs. San Antonio Spurs

Are the tickets expensive?

You’ll notice that tickets for the NBA playoffs are very pricey.

Why?

It’s the most interesting time in NBA due to very high anticipation and where NY supporters are cheering and encouraging their team. As a result, more and more supporters in playoff games decide to dress up in the same color in order to show support for their team.
